17. I can tell you that the special food to dissolve bladder stones

can actually do it. I had a dog with a horrible problem with bladder stones. Once put on the food and given time, the stones were gone. Is the food wet or dry? What you might be able to add to the food to make it more appealing depends on what type of stones she has. Have you asked your vet for ideas, because sometimes you can add broth or something to the food.

I mixed my dog's old food with the new gradually for a few days until she was eating only the special food. It was an easier transition than switching all at once.

Good luck!
